Richest Mogul

Chapter 834

Skylar hadn’t figured out why she felt that way when they stepped into Edwin’s study.

Edwin’s study was big, but it didn’t show many signs of use. A glass cupboard held a few antiques that looked quite valuable.

Skylar followed Joe over and studied every single one of them in detail.

“I can give you anything you want from this collection. However, I can’t part with the emerald pendant in your hand,” Edwin hurriedly said after catching up with them.

Joe ignored him, looking at Skylar instead.

She observed them one by one. Then, she shook her head. There was nothing wrong with the antiques.

Skylar scanned her surroundings. None of the decorative items in the room were negative items either.

“None of these are interesting enough for me. I’ll be taking the pendant with me,” announced Joe. He took Skylar’s hand and left Edwin’s study, paying no mind to Edwin’s protests.

Edwin was about to explode with fury. Joe had shown up just to piss him off, hadn’t he? He knew Edwin valued the pendant, so he came to take it away from Edwin.

“No way. I’ve worn the pendant for years and gotten used to having it with me. I’ll feel out of sorts if I give it to you,” refused Edwin.

Joe was basically robbing him.

It didn’t matter whether the pendant was a negative item or not. What mattered was that it would help him achieve his goals and remain happily alive.

Joe stood in place. He looked down at Edwin disdainfully. Edwin’s heart raced.

“I don’t care about what you’re trying to achieve using this crap. From this moment onward, stop whatever it is, commanded Joe coldly. Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

Edwin was rendered speechless for a moment.

Molly insisted stiffly, “It isn’t a piece of crap. It’s a lucky talisman your dad likes to wear. Don’t think of this pendant as something evil just because other families were dealt an unfortunate hand. Right now, you’re no better than a robber.”

“I think you know the consequences of wearing the pendant,” Skylar interjected. She stared into Molly’s eyes.

Molly froze for a moment. Then, she broke eye contact with Skylar as though she had something to hide. She huffed, “What would I know? What consequences would it bring? It’s just an emerald pendant. I’m no longer indulging in superstitious traditions at my age and you shouldn’t too. It isn’t a good thing to be superstitious.”

“If I find another similar object, you’ll suffer the same fate as Lester,” Joe threatened. There was no need to waste time giving them advice. Threats were especially effective.

Molly quietened, looking affronted.

Edwin’s eyes widened.

The asshole! Joe was a little shit! He was Edwin’s son. How audacious of Joe to threaten him!

Edwin trembled with anger. He remembered Lester Ross‘ fate. Death would’ve been preferable over what

he went through,

Even today, Lester could only dream of returning to the country. He’d been Edwin’s most trusted friend. They were as close as brothers. Who knew Joe would deal with him in such a cruel way?

Now, he even used Lester against him as a threat!

A few minutes after Joe and Skylar left, Edwin could no longer contain his anger. He grabbed a vase and threw it at the door with a loud crash.

All the helpers were terrified. They didn’t even dare to move a muscle.
